I'm kinda comitted to running a beer mile in a couple of weeks. Pretty fucking unkeen for it as likelihood of it being a vomitfest are pretty high. Seems like something to try once and never again. For those unaware it's - 4 x [chug a beer (alcohol content >5%) then run a 400m]. I'm a fucking shit runner these days, and I barely drink World record for this is 4:36 lol. I'd be fucking pumped coming in under 10 mins without spewing

So, because I'm so unsure about this I just went and did a beer 800m as practice Unsurprisingly there was somewhat of a self conscious feeling taking beers down to the local oval to chug and then run while their is a billion families around

That deep feeling of regret while smashing a beer before you know your about to run. The first 50m after chugging is pretty groce as all you can do is burp. Was overall better than expected, no vomit feeling, came in at 4:45 as pretty much phoning in the running. Will go at 60-70% for the first 1200m and only sprint the last 400m on the day (before yakking no doubt). More aiming to make it through than anything

I did R U Barfing way back in the day at UWA which was the same idea, pubcrawl run between the pubs and have to carry the vomit bag if you spew. Back then I was probably a better runner than drinker but managed to survive. Pretty sure the Shed was involved but I'll be fucked if I can remember the other pubs! Pretty sure it was banned my 2nd or 3rd year at Uni, can't remember, those days are hazy!

They're hard though, those who can run generally can't do the drinking and vice versa. Remember a mate from school who was a state middle distance runner, could do the mile in a ridiculous time and not even look like he'd done anything at the end but he couldn't even do it because he'd be spewing his ring up after two beers and trying to do any exercise. Adding the beer basically turned it into a double marathon for him.

It's hardly gone down, 101.2kg. Is that where the Lean Body Mass comes into it? As that went up?

I done the 8 week challenge.

That's a damn impressive transformation, basically turned 13kg into muscle/water weight in 8 weeks and lost another couple of kg in general.

LBM is just your body weight minus body fat (although the numbers are a little off on your starting figures). So if your weight is basically the same you've basically converted the fat into muscle/water weight in that period.

I reckon I've had similar, wish I had those scans to quantify it somewhat.. Looking in much better shape but my weight has hardly moved.

I've done about 9 weeks with solid consistency now so hopefully it stabilises and I start to drop real kgs. My diet has been pretty average really but should still be in deficit at least 5 days a week and probably running close to maintenance for the other 2.

Nowhere near DEXA but I've found mine to be pretty consistent / accurate if conditions are kept the same i.e time of day, hydration level, meal times etc have always done it early in the morning on an empty stomach and no water.
